Comment (by psiha):

 Hmm, giving it more thought, I guess it doesn't apply here because
 iterator_range<T> is not a member of iterator_range<T const> (or vice
 verse), only their members are 'compatible' but the the aliasing
 rules/exception don't actually cover that?

 i.e.
 struct A { int       * p; };
 struct B { int const * p; };

 objects of A and B cannot alias each other?
